Blog Entries With Tag: holderBlog: Anna's BlogFrom: FatCatAnnaPosted: Sep 8, 2013
![]() Sadly, the one she had made me, I left behind (how I did that I'll never know and I didn't realise this until many months later) when on holidays in the USA a few years ago. When I decided to purchase another one - and at the time she was making them in black instead of the original white - I was going to purchase two. I was disappointed to discover she would no longer ship outside of the USA - no matter how much I pleaded with her (a cat pleading is really cute). Mainly this was due to time involved in going to post office, customs/duty forms. Let's just say I was extremely disappointed. ![]() I did manage to purchase similar material that she made hers out of at that point - with the intentions of making my own version - but so far - time has ticked by - SCREAM - and I've just not found the time - tick, tock, tick, tock. I have found other ways to wear my pump though when wearing a dress - tucked in a sports bra - except when it comes to wearing a more skin showing dress - a sports bra just doesn't work well. I've actually removed the pump when I do want to wear something "skimpy" - using a pen needle with rapid insulin to stay in the "zone" for a short time - but it's kind of a drag - so I don't do that too often. Ohhhh - I'm such a vain Fashionista!! Just now, I came across a link by KimChal - that tells you how to make your own in EIGHT EASY STEPS. It's not difficult to follow (I do sew for a living for other people - so of course - it may be easier for me than some of you). If you don't sew - you can always sweeten up a friend that does - and they'll make one for you - that will custom fit it to YOU. If any of you give it a try - either post your results here - and of course - let KimChal know!!! I did tell her that I was posting her instructions here at Diabetes1.org - so maybe she'll come by and say hi to us all (or look for us in the DOC - Diabetic Online Community via Facebook / Twitter / G+ ). Dreaming of wearing a slinky dress - with my thigh pump holder ..... ![]() NB: The hyperlink for my blog hyperlink - still works (some have said it doesn't - I triple dipple test every link I put in my blogs to make it easier for you). Sadly though Joan Benz is no longer in business - taking a break from sewing (I know the feeling - I used to do the same - full time job / sewing on the side). She is still involved in JDRF events though (her daughter is a T1D).
